In 2016, Richard Branson was listed by Forbes with an estimated net worth of $5.2 billion. This ranking reflected Branson’s success as the founder of the Virgin Group, a conglomerate with ventures in various industries, including airlines (Virgin Atlantic), music (Virgin Records), telecommunications (Virgin Mobile), and space travel (Virgin Galactic). Branson’s entrepreneurial ventures, starting from his first business with Student magazine in the late 1960s, grew into a global brand that spanned over 400 companies.
